Abilene Zoo

On Saturday, we drove to the Abilene Zoo. We were expecting it not to be that great but we were wrong. It is a smaller zoo but they don't spend their money on a lot of small animals. They had lions, giraffes, bears, zebra, bison, rhinos, a panther, a jaguar, and some other smaller animals. It was really nice. Sydney had a good time and that's all that mattered to us!

Here's a peacock showing off.

You could "feed all the animals except the monkeys" is what the zookeeper said. You can buy these rye crackers for $1.50/8 crackers. Good deal! Here we are in front of the bears. It does look a little bit disturbing but you actually have to throw your cracker onto the cement ledge for the bears to reach it and eat it.

My daughter is more brave than me. That's her in the yellow shirt touching the snake.

Chasing the birds.
She was so tired by the end of the day she fell asleep while eating a granola bar! The funniest thing was when she woke up - she didn't miss a beat. That granola bar was in her mouth before she realized where she was!
